Ovarian cancer question? |
does anyone know the percentage of surviving this disease after chemo treatments are done? stage2, i've already had the surgery,a total hyst, and pelvic mass removal. The question is way too vague to really address thoroughly- but... There are different stages of the disease- once it is diagnosed properly through surgery. Stage I thru IV. Stage I is when the cancer is found on the surface of the ovary without other visual evidence, stage II is when the cancer has spread inside the ovaries and is removed by hysterectomy, Stage III is when the cancer has spread within the abdomen, possibly to other organs or tissues such as the colon omentum, bladder, vagina, etc. Stage IV is when the cancer has spread to the lymphatic system and/or it is found remotely such as in the lungs, liver, brain, etc. The Stages have different levels as well , the cells have different grades also, but this is too complex to go into to answer your specific question. Stage I and II are very survivable- if the surgeon is able to remove the ovaries involved then a chemo regimen is given to rule out microscopic cancer that remains, that woman has up to a 95% chance of full recovery. Stage III and IV- the advanced stages- are less survivable, but since each person's cancer is unique, it is really not statistically important pertaining to one person, numbers are really just trends and results of gathering info over years. Really the only stats you need to know is 100% or 0 %. What I am saying is you give the challenge your 100% EFFORT and see where it goes from there. Two things to help one have the best chance against ovarian cancer is: 1. Don't wait to get checked out if you feel something is wrong inside you. 2. If you MIGHT have ovarian (based upon preliminary tests by your primary care Dr or gyn.) get an oncologist/gynecologist to take it from there. Not many. Usually this type of cancer is found in later stages. I believe that is why the survival rate is so poor. |
